Subject:Solar Shower &Water Storage Tank for Luggage Bin
From:Tony Peet
Date:Thu, 3 Feb 2000 13:15:37 PST

Hi All:

I think I've finally found how I want to use my rooftop luggage bin on my
Westy. I've been wanting to figure out a way to create a cheap shower
option, and one of the list members recommended the "Basic Designs SunShower
and Water Storage Tank" -- which holds 8-10 gallons, measures approximately
21'x30" (just about perfect for a snug fit in the bin), and has 4 grommets
that look like they'll work great for secure tie-down.  From the picture, it
even looks like I can stow it such that the water fill hole is on the
drivers side -- same as the other intakes -- and the shower hose is on the
passenger side.

I think I know that a gallon of water weighs around 10 pounds -- so the load
could be around 80 pounds -- well below the recommended 100 pound limit for
the bin.

Has anyone else had any experience with this product?  Does anyone have any
strong recommendations for a similar product?

It costs $24.99 from www.campmor.com.  GO to the homepage and type
'22320' (without quotes --its the product number) in to the search bar.  Or
